Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is a tree native to North America, and its inner bark has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine, particularly for its soothing properties. When the inner bark is harvested and dried, it becomes a powder that’s rich in mucilage—a gel-like substance that has a soothing, slippery texture when mixed with water.
Slippery elm powder is often used to support digestive health, as it can help calm the digestive tract, relieve symptoms of indigestion, and soothe conditions like acid reflux, gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It’s also commonly used for its ability to ease sore throats, coughing, and other respiratory issues by providing a coating effect that helps reduce irritation.
In addition to digestive and respiratory health, slippery elm is sometimes used topically in poultices to treat skin irritations and wounds due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
